Getting from Saskatoon to Missinipe

1. Flying is the nicest, quickest way to do it. Transwest Air (1-800-667-9356 for flights and reservations or 1-877-989-2677 for charter quotes or bookings) (www.transwestair.com) flies to La Ronge several times a day. We can meet you at the La Ronge Airport and transport you to our base in Missinipe.

2. You can rent a car or van and drive to Missinipe. We generally rent from Budget in Saskatoon. Their phone number is 1-800-268-8900. There are so many interesting things to see along the way that the drive could end up taking many days. But it is normally a 6 hour drive.

3. You can hire a van and driver to drive you and your group to Missinipe. This is great way to go. The driver is very much like a tour guide. The tour guide can talk to you about the changing landscape and points of interest as you travel. For a medium to large sized group it is quite economical.
